The fabric: leather is the classic choice of material for a handbag, most leather stands the test of time, it’s better to use canvas or nylon if you don’t want to think about it and be able to easily wash it.
Consider the details — hardware is important, do you prefer zippers or magnetic snaps? Can the strap be adjusted, making the handbag wearable crossbody or over-the-shoulder, depending on your mood?
